Willis 20,919 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Goram gets it for me. McGregor is great but at the end of the day he jumped ship when we went to the lower leagues and only came back once we were getting back to the top, I've forgiven him for it but he'll always be below Goram in terms of legend status imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have lost 10 in row due to him next .Surprised at you Graeme .I have to disagree with all that .He was never rotten at any point in his Rangers career .Only time I can recall thinking that was the Heats game away ,which I was at .Where he got off to a bad start losing a horrendous goal He recovered from that and become the absolute legend he was between the sticks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor is now running him close or possibly overtaken him as a better "Ranger" though. Both are magic .Trying to separate them is like a couple of 10 year olds in the playground . And then slagging one of them off to prove am argument .We only have our own experiences and our own opinions . Both have has moments one way or the other Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... Goram was a fantastic shot stopper but also great with the ball at his feet. McGregor not so much, although in terms of shot stopping he is almost as good as Goram, though I would say that for me, Goram edges it. That's in no way to demean McGregor as he is outstanding and has if anything improved over the years, which is testament to his desire to get better. Klos is up there for me as well. We really have had some outstanding goalies represent our club. Good summary as usual from yourself 👍 I always loved the way Andy would have the confidence to walk the ball out of the area before launching it to one of our players .In those days with big Marcus winning everything up top.It put defences under P most of the time Negri's lovechild 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoplandRoad83 3,124 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Goram for me. As amazing as his performance in his prime were, I remember the AC Milan legends game and he was fucking outstanding despite being overweight and long retired. Spoke to some Milan fans in the pub after and they were asking "who's the flying pig"? They couldn't believe how good he was given his shape. I don't think his reflexes can be matched - unique. McGregor is fantastic, but I think Goram is still above for me. sassaaaa and Negri's lovechild 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nice to remember, but Goram was absolutely howling in the 10IAR season. Levels dropped to miles below McGregor at his worst, bordering on unprofessionalism. Yeah fair enough. He never looked after himself and clearly wasn't the most professional but for me he will always be our best keeper. He wasn't the only 1 that was bad that season as Laudrup had downed tools as well and he was 34 when he left. I know he signed for man u after us but he never got back to that standard.

On and off the park if I recall correctly. Goram had a shambles is just fuckin ridiculous , talking pish. Every defender that played with Goram have commented on how good it was to have him behind them. McGregor has made many howlers the first time round in big games for us especially against the filth. Hes actually playing better now than he ever has but is still dodgy coming out for cross balls.

northern bear 2,867 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Goram just for me. At the top of his game I reckon he was top 5 in the world at the time. I only thought Schmeichel was better. I rate McGregor very highly and never understood how a top 4 premiership team never took a chance on him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shagger has undoubtedly saved us more points than Goram and kept us in far more games In the 90s we were more dominant and there was certainly a fear factor coming to Ibrox but this year has brought that fear back. It's harder to argue that Goram is (was) the better due to lack of footage and quality of the videos. For me it's still Goram but if shagger has a season like this, next year then it's Shagger - the goalie - Klos for me. Never got to see Woods play for us (so this comment could be the exact same that some2will have in regard to the Goram/McGregor debate) I don't think we were more dominant. Certainly than this season. We're routinely conceding low, low numbers of shots on or off target. On a few occasions no shots have been conceded at all. Goram was a marginally better shot stopper, better with his feet and better on cross balls. Better overall. I'd say not far off best in the world at one time, which shagger isn't. mclovin9091 and Negri's lovechild 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,524 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 It is close. But not that close if I'm honest. Goram was by a clear margin a better goalie than Shagger.

And he made 2 or 3 howlers in that season as well. Most notably 2 in the one game away at Dundee United that we lost. Anyways. Amazing keeper regardless but McGregor just gets my vote after this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strasbourg at home - poor for both goals. Sparta at home. Probably should have done better with Gothenburg's second but that's probably a bit harsh. Not an exclusive thing though. Ally Maxwell was laughable v Levski. I'm sure Snelders had a shocker against Strasbourg away? Gough was very poor in a lot of our European games. One game he was excellent in when we got pumped was v Grasshopper away. Could have been 5-6. Edit: Forgot this - his worst performance tbh.
